Brazil's Bolsonaro says country will again lead ethanol production

"It's all about downsizing government so investors and big agribusiness landowners and companies can come in and have a freer hand for more trashing of resources and indigenous rights", Victor Menotti, a former director of the International Forum on Globalization, told AFP.

In the run-up to the election, Bolsonaro, whose first foreign visits would be to Chile, Israel and the United States - that according to him "share our worldview" - has said: "The future ministry will come from the productive sector".

Bolsonaro also said he wanted to name anti-corruption crusader Sergio Moro as justice minister, or else nominate the judge - the head of the massive "Car Wash" graft probe - to the Supreme Court. "Several NGO activists in different fields are getting threats..."

Trump called Bolsonaro to congratulate him on his victory.

Bolsonaro, with a proudly authoritarian approach that attracted Brazilian voters tired of crime and corruption, will have to find a way to fit into the groupings of developing countries.

"These elections revealed the worst in humanity".

After growing one percent last year, Brazil, the world's eighth-largest economy, is forecast to grow about 1.4 percent this year.
